"We are excited to play the next series of matches against Finland and then Japan," said Canada's head coach Glenn Hoag. "It was good to finish off our three weekends in Canada with two wins over Korea, and now we have to perform to the same or higher level in the away games. Each match is crucial as we have to be at the top of our pool and to advance to the final round in Argentina in late July."
